As I sit here studying for my test on Friday (booo exam before Thanksgiving break!) I figured I'd make a quick post to add a couple more videos.
Distance Beta Challenge Mode 1: Thunderstruck!
Besides adventure mode, Distance also has a challenge mode where you get one life, on chance to survive a track. Crash or wreck at any point and you start over from the beginning. It's definitely an exercise in frustration sometimes, but it's also a blast to play.
YAAAY By Default! [Melonbomber with Friends (?) 6]
I do enjoy playing this game mode, even if I'm not very good at it. It's fun to goof around with my friends.
Thanksgiving is coming up and I couldn't be more excited. It's not the food specifically that I love about Thanksgiving, it's the much needed week long brain break that I'm going to get right before finals start. Then I get a month off to work and unwind before spring semester starts. I'm excited for the spring to come because a whole new set of classes start and with a little luck, I'll be taking a trip to Ireland to visit a very good friend of mine.
Two more videos to bring to your attention.
I honestly think we get better at playing Prop Hunt as time progresses, but we will have to wait and see. I really like Distance so there will be more of that to come!
Wooo! I'm done with this crazy ass week. Having my girlfriend's dog for this past week has made my life much more enjoyable. As far as I know I passed everything, but I'm still waiting on grades for two things so we shall see. I have a couple of videos to post.
Prop Hunt 12
I also have the final installment of my Distance Adventure Mode Series.
I'm still working hard, but today I'm going to take a break and play some Destiny for a couple of hours before I start working/studying. Later! -BearAspirin
I'm taking a fast break from my studies (3 exams this week, remember?) to make a quick post to bring to light a couple more videos that have been uploaded recently.
Part 8 of Distance Adventure Mode is up for your viewing pleasure. It's the second to last video of Adventure Mode and I have some plans for other Distance videos since I do rather enjoy playing the game.
Next up is Part 4 of my Q.U.B.E Playthrough. I'm going to start uploading level 5 soon, but it took me almost half an hour to beat so instead of boring you to death with a single 30 minute video, I'm splitting that one up into several videos.
Just have to survive this week...this is a bit how I feel right now:
October has historically been a pretty busy month for pharmacy school thus far, and it looks like this year it's shaping up to be much of the same. Between a series of 3 exams in the first week, classes both ending and beginning, and a 20 something page paper due the first week of November, I'm definitely going to have my hands full, but I'll do my best to keep uploading a couple of videos per week as I have usually done. I have a couple of videos for you in the form of a new MelonBomber
and a new Gmod Murder!
I recorded them a while ago so I apologize if the audio balance is out of whack. I only just recently uploaded them, so Let me know what you think of them! -BearAspirin
Up late studying, figured I'd post another video. We are closing in on the end of the Adventure Mode portion of the Distance Beta. The adventure mode is a great introduction to the game, but I think Distance has way more to offer in the form of user created tracks and other game types. I will likely start doing runs of user created tracks just to showcase some of the awesome stuff that's out there. In the meantime, here's the video
So much work...I have two tests this week. I did upload a new video of my brother and I playing Spec Ops...well playing is a loose interpretation I guess. My internet at school is so bad that it rendered multiplayer campaign pretty much impossible. As much as it sucked to go through, it was pretty damn funny just how bad it was though. Check it out!
Hey there, sorry for my absence, I've been busy with school work. I've got a new video for you, Part 6 of Distance Beta Adventure Mode.
School is going well, but unfortunately I'm going to get busier from this point forward. There's a week in October where I have 3 tests and a mini-project type thing all due within that one week, so I will likely be non-existent during that week. Keep letting us know what you think of our stuff and we'll keep doing our best to keep putting it out there!
Time for a video update. I've been a little ill and BearAspirin as been busy with his classes so here's what we've done in the last two weeks.
First up is the first two parts of my Baldur's Gate, the next game inI've Never Played. I struggle a bit with the unfamiliar controls as I keep trying to use WASD.
Next is more Distance. We continue on with the Sprint multiplayer and trying out Reverse Tag as well. Reverse Tag is essentially "kill the guy with the ball" but instead you are inside a glowing sphere that get larger over time.
Continuing with Distance is BearAspirin's play through of the Adventure mode.
Lastly is more Melonbomber and Bear's Q.U.B.E. Let's Play.
I know that's quite a bit but BearAspirin has been editing and upload with what free time he has and I'll bug him to remember to post to the blog as well when he uploads. Please subscribe and leave comments, we'd love to know what you like and what you feel we could do better.
Quick update everyone. Sorry it's been over a week since any of us posted anything to the blog, a few things got in the way. First up, videos BearAspirin has posted two new things to his channel and one thing to the main channel. He continues on with his Q.U.B.E. play through and there is a new Melonbomber as well.
One the main channel we have started playing around with the multiplayer in Distance. Watch as BearAspirin does way better than theADHDsquirrel and myself.
Next up, I'm thinking I'll do Baldur's Gate for my next I've Never Played... as I have recently picked up the Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition books that are out so far. I am not familiar with Forgotten Realms and I skipped 4th edition so I feel this is a good opportunity to learn about that world. I also plan to keep a journal of what happens as my players go through the Tyranny of Dragons storyline.
Hopefully I'll have a new DOOM up soon, this last weekend was a rough one for me health wise and also BlondieChan (of Melonbomber fame) was visiting so between her and D&D, Bear and I did more actual human interaction than "Interneting" or editing. Lastly, the season premier of Doctor Who was pandering and overall left a bad taste in our mouths. The second episode was much better, I am very much enjoying Peter Capaldi so far.
It's been a while since I posted on here so prepare for quite a bit. First up is the first two videos of BearAspirin's play through ofThe Distancebeta. We will be doing some mulitplayer videos that will appear on his and the main channel depending on how many people we can get capturing.
Next up, we are planning on doing a series of videos were we play Civilization 5 multiplayer withThe White Project. That will be appearing on the main channel and hopefully there will be enough interesting moments and witty banter to make it entertaining.
Lastly, the latest episode of "I've Never Played..." is up with DOOM: Part 14. Which covers M2E9 Fortress of Mystery and E6 Halls of the Damned. We are nearing the end ofThe Shores of Hell and I trying to decied what I do next. I'm thinking of Duke Nukem 3D because that is what I tried to do next last time and maybe I'll be able to get it to work now. The other front runners I have are Half-Life (the first one), Wing Commander, or Ultima. If any of you have any suggestions please leave them in the comments below.
So I finally got around to editing the first series of games we played in the Gmod game Melonbomber. It's like Gmod version of Bomberman with ragdoll physics when you die. Bear in mind this is from the first time we ever really played the game, so we don't yet know how everything works. We have gotten considerably better at the game since we recorded this...mostly. Classes start for me tomorrow so we'll see how the semester goes.
Simulated Scholar also has a new installment of I've Never Played: DOOM.
As always if you like our stuff, let us know. Feedback is always appreciated.
So before school starts I finally started playing a game I bought forever ago and never really got the chance to play more than the first level. That game is Q.U.B.E, or Quick Understanding of Block Extrusion. It's developed and published by the people over at Toxic Games (Twitter, Facebook). It's a first person, puzzle platforming game that as far as I've played, I thoroughly enjoy. I know they released it originally for PC but now they have put out a Director's Cut that is cross platform with versions coming out for the WiiU, PS3 and Xbox One. I hope you enjoy the video, let me know what you think!
Hey everyone. I'm making a quick post to let you know a couple of new videos have been uploaded to my channel. They are two more Prop Hunt and two Trouble in Terrorist Town videos for your viewing pleasure.
I have some other videos in the works right now from other game types such as more Trouble in Terrorist Town and Murder, and I will make a post when I throw them up online. I'm also working on the logistics of doing a series of BattleBlock Theater videos with Tech-Viper but I have to get a few things OK'd first. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the videos!
This post is a little late for just a simple update but that's all this is. Posted below are the most recent videos from myself and BearAspirin. Please also support I've Never Played... on Blip.tv as it seems that with the YouTube integration that Google now putting up players from another hosting site isn't straight forward anymore. I'll tinker around with the HTML or something. I know it's still possible because Atop the Fourth Wall does it. Go check him out if you aren't already familiar (Linkara actually has fame and recently did his 300th episode) and like comic books.
Any way, here are those two videos. I'm off to clean the apartment and see if I can get my brother to make some crab cakes.
Wow, it's been over two years since I've done anything with this. However, recent encouragement from friends has convinced me to return to this project. The original plan was for a group of us to work together on multiple projects. A verity of factors prevented that.
I initially lost interested in I've Never Played for two reasons. First was that I couldn't get my capture software to work with Duke Nukem 3D, which was to be what I tried next. Second was looking back at the poor quality of the Doom posts. Yet, I've decided to continue when I was told that a friend of mine was sad that I stopped doing them. I've been watching many other video blogs/critics over the years and I think I have a better grasp of proper editing technique. At least in my head, we'll see how it works in practice.
Therefore, I shall be returning to Doom. Hopefully I can get Duke to work on my current rig and I remember how to use my editing programs I just reinstalled.
Lastly, my roommate has also started recording a group of us playing Garry's Mod.
